I was born and raised in BC on the coast of Vancouver Island. I packed up my little car in 2015 and moved out to Alberta, I started my career working in an insurance office, collecting a comfortable monthly salary, but not living the life I wanted to. I met my husband and we got married, I loved wedding planning so much I just knew I needed to be in the wedding industry, and started taking courses and working on my photography to make that dream come true! My husband and dogs are my heart & soul, and my favourite adventure buddies.
Your Fun-Loving Wedding & Elopement Photographer
I'm Katelyn
am so excited you're here. I'm going to ask you what your story is, how you met and how the proposal went, so it's only fair that I share a little bit of mine as well.
I
A snapshot into my life
I wouldn't be who I am today without all of the amazing people in my life. My mom is my best friend and biggest supporter. My husband is my favourite human in the whole world, he pushes me all the time to learn more, and stay motivated, his dedication to looking after me is unmatched, after a long wedding day he is always waiting for me with water or wine, a snack and a warm blanket ready to cuddle up with me . I am obsessed with my dogs and my cats, I am a huge animal lover!
My Love
Family
I love travelling, road trips are definitely my favourite, especially out to the coast, but all travel is welcome here. When I was 14 my dad took my to Mexico for the first time and that put the travel bug in me forever! I love immersing myself in new culture, trying new foods and seeing the things everyone else loves. I love filling my brain with as much knowledge as it will hold so travelling the world and learning how different cultures celebrate, love and live is something I am love to do!

Traveling
Ember Dawn Photography was the absolute BEST choice for us for our wedding! From the engagement shoot, that was complimentary! It let us meet, and get to know each other which made the wedding photos so easy and comfortable! I wrote Katelyn probably 50 emails with my wants, needs, and fears. She over and above delivered far better than I could have ever hoped! My dream was to have a winter wonderland wedding, and against all odds, we had NO SNOW the week of my wedding. I was devastated days prior, Katelyn knew how important that was to me, and drove around for HOURS the night before my wedding searching for any snow options. She found the perfect spot, and I got the most GORGEOUS snow pictures. More beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. Her artistic eye, is so impressive. I was so impressed with the final product she delivered. It was also extremely important to me to have certain moments captured with I couldn’t keep my eyes dry looking at the beautiful in the moment images from the father daughter dance she captured. Just beyond perfect, my husband and I can’t put into words the level of professionalism, effort and beauty she put into our wedding. The advice, the guidance, she was just so invested! We really felt like she delivered such a personal touch! I will use her for any future photos hands down. My only regret is that I didn’t meet her sooner!

I decided to propose to my lovely girlfriend on trip to tofino (Vancouver island) and wanted some photos to memorize the occasion.
I was recommended Katelyn by a friend who had previously had her for a wedding. Upon looking into it I noticed she was located in edmonton. Now incase no one is aware Vancouver island and edmonton are a travel away( 24 hours if you realy follow the traffic signs)
The main reason this was a issue is cause my proposal was going to happen in roughly a 48 hour time frame.
So I scheduled a consultation with her to see if I was able to push this proposal a few days off.
Well let me tell you she not only understood my situation she was able catch the first flight down and make it for the Original scheduled date.
She not only setup a bunch of poses for us but also helped me make the moment even more special by introducing a surprise pose so I could pop the question.
After all of this, of course we brought her back out to the island for our wedding and were again blown away by how amazing she was!
Needless to say I was beyond impressed and would recommend her to anyone and can't stress enough how grateful I am for her timely response and quick service.

Katelyn was not only a master behind the camera but also a true professional. She and her second shooter arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanour, and made us feel at ease throughout the session. They patiently listened to our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the shoot. We received our gallery yesterday which was within the time frame in our contract and we loved every photo we received back. Working with Katelyn was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft make them a standout choice in the world of photography. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary photographs and an unforgettable experience.
I am so glad I chose her as my photographer.
